--Ryienne Chantal Barnes, 18, Jamestown Boulevard, Benton, was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

A uniformed patrol deputy observed a vehicle commit a traffic violation on U.S. 90 near Amelia and initiated a stop of that vehicle. The deputy made contact with the driver, now identified as Barnes, and one passenger, identified as Barnes.

The deputy conducted interviews of both subjects and at the conclusion of that process, the deputy believed additional investigation was warranted.

The deputy requested consent to search the vehicle which was granted. During the subsequent vehicle search, a quantity of LSD (lysergic acid) and drug paraphernalia was seized. Barnes turned over a quantity of marijuana to the deputy.

Barnes was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center and remains incarcerated pending a bond hearing.

Brown was issued misdemeanor summonses and released with a court date.
